Crime at Bedtime

The murder of Tupac Shakur is one of the most famous unsolved crimes in the history of popular culture, and after thirty years, it finally has a verdict. In September 1996, the twenty-five-year-old rapper was shot in a drive-by at a red light just off the Las Vegas Strip, and died six days later. For decades, everyone seemed to know roughly what had happened, a feud, a beating in a hotel lobby, a revenge killing, yet no one was ever charged. The case drifted into legend and conspiracy theory. Then, in a twist no one could have scripted, the man who orchestrated it was brought down largely by his own words, after years of boasting publicly about his role. In 2026, a Las Vegas jury finally returned a verdict. In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we tell the full story: the fight that lit the fuse, the shooting, the alleged gunman who died before he could be charged, the three-decade silence, and the conviction that came at last. Settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of thirty years to justice.

Titu Singh was barely more than a toddler when he began insisting he was not who his family thought he was. He was not a little boy, he said, but a grown man named Suresh Verma, a shopkeeper from the city of Agra, with a wife, two children, and a radio shop, who had been shot dead in his own car. His family dismissed it as a child’s fantasy, until they travelled to Agra and found the shop, the widow, and the murdered man, all exactly as the boy had described. Then there were the two birthmarks on Titu’s head, which matched the entry and exit wounds recorded in the dead man’s autopsy. Investigated by serious researchers and filmed by the BBC, it remains one of the most carefully documented and most debated cases of its kind in the world. In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we tell the full story, and weigh it honestly: how could a small boy know the intimate details of a murder he could not possibly have witnessed? Settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of the boy who named his own killer.

Herb Baumeister looked like the American dream: a respectable Indianapolis businessman, a married father of three, the owner of a successful chain of thrift stores, and the master of a beautiful eighteen-acre estate called Fox Hollow Farm. He was also one of the most prolific serial killers in American history. Beneath the surface, Baumeister was luring young men from the gay bars of Indianapolis to his property and murdering them, burying their remains across the grounds where his own children played. The truth only began to surface when his thirteen-year-old son found a human skull in the woods, and when a man who had narrowly survived him refused to stay silent. By the time police searched the estate, they would recover around ten thousand fragments of human bone. In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we tell the full story: the double life, the victims who were overlooked for too long, the wife and family living on top of a killing field, and the extraordinary effort, still going on today, to give each of the dead back their name. Settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of the double life.

The murder of Anni Dewani in Cape Town in 2010 became one of the most sensational and bitterly contested cases of the decade. Anni was a bright 28-year-old bride, just two weeks married, when the taxi carrying her and her husband on their honeymoon was hijacked in a South African township. She was driven away and found shot dead the next morning. What began as an apparent random carjacking exploded into a global scandal when the men convicted of her murder claimed her own husband, British businessman Shrien Dewani, had paid to have her killed. He fought extradition for three years, stood trial, and was acquitted when the case against him collapsed. In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we tell the full story, and both sides of it: the honeymoon, the killing, the murder-for-hire allegations, the trial, the acquittal, and the questions Anni's family have never had answered. Settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of the honeymoon.
